Toews took a hit high to the back from Johnny Boychuk in front of the Boston net in the second period. He played several more shifts in the middle period after the hit.<\/p>\n
He was on the bench for the start of the third period, but did not take a shift in the frame.<\/p>\n
After the contest, Chicago head coach Joel Quenneville said that Toews has an upper-body injury and was hopeful he’d be ready for Game 6 in Boston on Monday.<\/p>\n
“Toews, we’re hopeful he’ll be ready next game, upper body,” said Quenneville. We’ll see how he is tomorrow. I checked on him a couple times there. I think he wanted to play, but we’ll see.”<\/p>\n
Toews, who assisted on two goals from Patrick Kane in the 3-1 win, has two goals and 10 assists in 22 playoff games.<\/p>\n
